Hundreds of Islamist protesters barricaded themselves inside the mosque overnight on Friday, following a day of fierce street battles. A Muslim cleric, Sheik Abdel-Hafiz el-Maslami, still inside the mosque told The Associated Press that people are afraid to leave the mosque out of fear of detention or being assaulted by the crowd outside.
